Chapter 454: People Together Cross the Ghost Gate Pass
Yin Realm.
Under the bombardment of the Yinyang Furnace, the foundation of the Yin Realm was destroyed.
The chains of Yin and Yang order devoured everything, and vast expanses of the realms’ heaven and earth collapsed.
Although the Tianxuan Ancestor had already died, the doomsday of the Yin Realm continued.
After all, the foundation of this world had been destroyed by the Tianxuan Ancestor.
Updated by ℕovG○.coIn the blink of an eye, half of the Yin Realm was ruined, and countless living beings vanished along with the collapse of the world.
And at this moment.
Above the Demon Domain.
Xinning’s hand, the scroll, had already been opened halfway.
On the scroll, seven characters radiated a ten-thousand-mile invincible Sword Intent.A sword cleaves the path between life and death!
At this moment, they all clearly felt that the gateway to another world had opened.
The area that originally belonged to the Taboo Sea Island, once shrouded in Yin and Yang mists and where mortals dared not set foot, was now bathed in ten-thousand-mile radiance—it was the light from another world.
“This sword… annihilates all enemies, opens the path of life and death.”
Updated by NovG○.coJiang Xue murmured, enchanted. What incredible power this was!
“The Great Demon King… too terrifying, actually capable of piercing through both Yin and Yang realms…”
Yun Xi’s big eyes blinked, filled with disbelief.
It should be known that the separation of Yin and Yang, the distinction between life and death… in the Yang Realm, these are universally acknowledged as insurmountable chasms and ravines, impossible to cross!
The others were equally shocked beyond measure!
“Master’s Sword Dao, can create and destroy worlds, today, I’ve finally witnessed its might!”
Dugu Yuqing’s eyes burned with an intense fervor.
This was the Sword Dao she had longed for in her dreams.
With a single sword strike, obliterate all enemies, sever all cause and effect, break all obstructions.
Supreme!
They all knew that Li Fan’s methods were heaven-reaching and earth-penetrating, but today, they truly witnessed this invincible power.
And at this moment, the scroll in Xinning’s hand continued to unfold!
The earth-shattering sword strike just now… originated from only half a line written on the scroll!
The second half of the sentence on the scroll finally, slowly, appeared.
“To survive”!
“Together”!
“Cross”!
“Ghost”!
“Gate”!
“Pass”!
The line: To survive together, cross the Ghost Gate Pass!
As soon as these words appeared, the scroll suddenly emitted an extremely mighty force.
The scroll soared.
Standing tall in the center of the Sky Vault, its radiant light illuminated countless beings.
In an instant, the heavens roared and the earth tremored, the entire world seemed to be lifted by this scroll!
The crumbling Demon Domain and the countless struggling members of the Demon Race were bathed in the scroll’s light. In an instant, on the brink of life and death, they vanished from their original places and had already appeared at the entrance leading to the Yang Realm!
Soon after, within the boundless domains of the Immortal Domain, the wailing living beings likewise vanished from the Immortal Domain in a flash, setting foot on the Great Yang Path!
The Void Sea Domain, billions from the Lower World…
Countless beings panicked, not knowing what was happening!
“What’s going on…”
“Ahead… is that the Yang Realm? I feel an overwhelmingly abundant Yang Energy…”
“It’s the Yang Realm, a Supreme being has pierced through Yin and Yang!”
People exclaimed in shock!
Countless people had not yet reacted when they had already stepped onto the Great Yang Path!
But at the same time, golden seas of tribulations instantly descended!
—Yang Tribulation!
All beings from the Yin Realm were essentially Yin Spirits, nurtured and cultivated in the broken Yin Realm, but upon entering the Yang Realm, they had to endure great calamities.
“Ah—”
“No…”
Endless cries of anguish!
This moment, all living beings scrambled through the tribulations.
“The Yin Realm is but a shattered reflection of the Yang Realm; all Yin Spirits are merely re-enactments of bygone times. In the Yang Realm, the beings of this world have long been dead, and I am already dead too…”
Under the Yang Tribulation, a middle-aged man treading on black and white chess lines murmured. He was striking and dignified, and he was none other than the Black and White Saint Emperor.
Since the Era of the Immortal Dao, he had been resisting the People of the Yang World, once trapped in deception.
But at this moment, the scroll spanned the sky, bringing him too onto this Yang Path.
Watching the endless Yang Tribulation descend, and glimpsing the emergence of another world, he gained insight:
“That heaven-penetrating and earth-touching predecessor, with his tremendous power, has given all living beings of the Yin Realm a chance, an opportunity to enter the Yang Realm and be reborn.”
“However, the vast majority of beings from the Yin Realm will perish because their karmic ties in the Yang Realm might have already completely dissipated over the years, leaving no trace…”
“We are like the deceased, lonesome spirits and wandering ghosts, seeking rebirth in the Yang Realm, trying to cross this Ghost Gate Pass… unless the karmic ties we left behind in the Yang Realm have not utterly vanished.”
Recalling this, he suddenly smiled, carefree and heroic. Taking a step forward, he willingly faced the terrifying Yang Tribulation.
“I, Black White, perhaps have a past in the Yang Realm that, under the grand designs of my predecessor, can reemerge interwoven in the Yin Realm—this is a tremendous fortune.”
“If people in the Yang Realm still chant my name, if my past reflection still lingers… I will return; if all of me has already vanished… then let me extinguish completely.”
Endless Yang Tribulation light thundered down upon him.
At that moment, he clearly saw the infinite Yang Tribulation light seemingly carving out a path, transporting him to a certain realm within the Yang World!
“I understand now, the numerous Yin Spirits from the Yin Realm don’t all come from the same place in the Yang Realm. Just like a soul returning to its homeland, I will be sent to the place that binds me with karma… Very well.”
His eyes showed great breadth, looking back, he only saw the illusions of sentient beings vanishing, the Yin Realm like a wisp of flying ash.
“Great destruction, great terror, but it is also a great rebirth.”
The Black and White Saint Emperor murmured, saying:
“Those who have died, need not wail, for it is, in the end, extinction. Those reborn, need not rejoice, for to live again in the Yang Realm means facing perhaps even greater tribulations and loneliness…”
“It’s just a pity, I didn’t get to meet that predecessor in person, the one who initiated the revival of the Yin Realm, bridging Yin and Yang… A grand gesture indeed!”
“Life is like chess, we all have destinies… Black White, I depart.”
He vanished from his original spot.
He had already gone to that place in the Yang Realm bound to him by fate.
This was a pitiless great calamity.
The Black and White Saint Emperor had already left; countless sentient beings in this part of the Yin Realm were facing annihilation.
In a certain sense, the creatures of the Yin Realm were already dead in the long river of time.
To be reborn in the Yin Realm and step into the Yang Realm, one must have the protection of past karma.
If the Yin Spirit itself still has traces in the Yang Realm that have not been fully erased, with this karmic connection, it could survive the great Yin-Yang calamity and be sent to where its karma lies.
Otherwise, it would return to tranquility, complete extinction.
…
Mortal beings wailed in sorrow.
Billions of sentient beings, only a handful could endure, few and far between!
A middle-aged man, trembling, watched the Yang Tribulation light fall upon him.
“I, Ao Wushuang, don’t want to die!”
He cried out in sorrow, completely panicking!
But in the next moment, as the Yang Tribulation light baptized him, another world suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Shocked, he vanished on the spot.
“We… are merely a reappearance of the past…”
Fire Spirit was bathed in the light of Yang Tribulation, lost in thought, muttering:
“This world still holds our past karma.”
Next to her, Mu Qianning had eyes filled with tension and unease, saying, “Sister Ling’er…”
Fire Spirit took her hand, firmly declaring:
“Qian Ning, don’t be afraid, let’s go.”
Feeling Fire Spirit’s gaze, Mu Qianning also suddenly felt a surge of courage, holding onto Fire Spirit’s hand tightly.
Together, they departed.
“Grandpa Tai Xuan… save them!”
In the Imperial Ji Family, countless clan members were destroyed, leaving only Ji Qingke and Ji Taixuan. She wept bitterly, wanting to retain those clan members obliterated by the tribulation light.
“It’s no use, Qingke, all the traces our clan left in this world have been completely erased. They can’t enter this world anymore…”
Ji Taixuan sighed deeply, taking Ji Qingke and turning to leave.
Even Jiang Xue in the skies above the Demon Domain, alongside Nan Feng and others, felt something at this moment!
Suddenly, she stepped forward and entered the path to the Yang Realm!
“Sister Jiang Xue!”
Zi Ling and others exclaimed loudly!
But at that moment, Jiang Xue’s beautiful eyes flickered with an indescribable expression.
“Am I… just a recreation of the past…?”
“Did the me of the past still exist?”
She whispered softly, “The call of destiny.”
A swathe of Yang Tribulation light descended, she stepped into it, and then vanished.
…
The entire Yin Realm had reemerged because of the invisible grand hands.
At this moment, because of the invisible karma, it also entered the great extinction.
This is the merciless wheel of Samsara, the selection of life and death, the mighty power of destiny.
The past reemerges, whether those gone can step onto new paths is beyond their control.
All living beings traverse the Ghost Gate Pass together, and those who cross must rely on the key of the past.
If the past does not exist, the present shall vanish.
Life and death have long been destined in the obscurity.
No one can reverse it, no one can stop it.
This, is the torrent of destiny.

PS: Following the first volume “Summit of the Immortal Path”, the second volume “Era of the Holy Path” comes to an end with accumulative words tolling up to one million one hundred fifty thousand. Looking back, it truly has been a tough journey.
The reason why the updates were a bit weak later in the series is that, facing the grand and boundless Sea of Karma, the infinite world of the Yang Realm, and the misty paths of Immortal Dao interwoven between yesterday and today… I, the little author, like an ant, trembled and crawled, only able to look up in difficulty.
The next volume “Supreme Divine Path” will continue the excitement, and I hope to make it even more enjoyable for everyone.
Thank you for accompanying me all this way.
